Q: And the name of your product is going to be called what?
A: Natural Neutral
Q: Tell us about it?
A: It’s an invention I am creating that holds women’s breasts up and makes them look like they don’t have a bra on. I see a lot of women, especially Caucasian womennwho can afford to do so, they spend $10,000 to get the operation to look up front like that. But my bra can do what a $10,000 risky operation can do for less than $40. Naturally, my bra can save all women a lot of money.
Q: So, you’re saying you created a bra that will save you from having the cosmetic surgery to have your breasts stand up right.
A: Yes.
Q: And your bra that costs $35 can do the same thing that surgery that costs $10,000 can do.
A: Yes
Q: That’s genius.
A: It is? Thank you.
Q: How did you come up with this?
A: I’ve been thinking about this for years.
Q: Five years? Ten years? Thirty years?
A: I’m 58 so at least about 40 years.
Q: At least 40 years since you were 18 years old- wow.
Q: How many women have you told about this?
A: Down through the years at least about maybe 100.
Q: And what has their response been?
A: Well, when I did tell them I was saying that, you know, if you can do this and do that to your bra maybe it will look better. Well, they normally when I tell them that they’ll go like, “Yeah, that will be good, that will be great!” And so, I keep asking a lot of people, what they think about my invention.
Q: Okay. So, let me ask you this question. So, you’ve tested, you’ve interviewed…this is called research marketing what you’ve done.
A: Yes, sir.
Q: Without knowing what you’ve been doing, you’ve been surveying people and 100 people is a great test number. And all of them are excited, and none of them said they have a bra that does what you’re about to do- this is tremendous. What’s the name of your company?
A: Natural Neutral.
Q: And if women wanted to preorder it, you know, some companies they allow you to pre-order, or if they want to get on a list for you, how can they contact you?
A: They can call my business phone – 901-659-2094.
Q: How has the Daughters of Zion SBA CNPP assisted you?
A: They taught me a lot of things. They even connected me with Pinnacle Bank now I have my bank account set up with Pinnacle. Every time I talk to Ms. Natalie and anyone I talk to, they always gives me good advice about stuff.
Q: What would you say to other entrepreneurs, other business owners who are not a part of this Daughters of Zion SBA CNPP Program?
A: Follow your dream. Something you had in your head for so long just take it out and just try it. It won’t hurt you.
Q: Give me one more thing that you want everybody reading this article to know about you.
A: I am a Christian and I truly love God.
Awesome. Congratulations Ms. Craig for being the Entrepreneur of the Week.
